HOTEL BUTLER, Seattle, Wash. 1 TIRELY FIRE- | RESTAURANT, De Stei-i | THE ONLY VESSEL ON THE DEAD SEA It Is a Small Sailing Craft, Being About Twenty Feet in Length. Since the earthquake in Palestine last | April some one circulated the story | that the mouth of the river Jordan { had been =o affected by the shock that the level of the river had been altered to such an extent that at the place where the historic river goes into the Dead Sea there was now a waterfall of | considerable depth and strength. This | altogether false, and no change whatever has taken place at or near the mouth of the Jordan. The writer has just spent some days there and made it his special business to inves- | tigate this matter. Much has also ap- peared from time to time in the pa- pers and periodicals about steamboats navigating the Dead Sea. This, too, is a fabrication. The only boat on the Dead Sea is a small salling boat, about twenty feet long. This vessel makes trips, as the wind allows, from the | north end of the sea to the bav on the eastern side of the tongue that | divides the water near the middle | Here at this terminus some Jews are located. The whole concern is, in fact, in the hands of the Jews, who, at a | low rate, buy wheat and barley from the Arabs, to be delivered on the sea- | | shore. From there it is shipped to the Jericho side and carried on donkeys to Jerusalem, where it finds a ready | {sale at a good price. When adverse | | winds blow the little craft is in danger | of being swamped, for the so-called | Dead Sea becomes a living mass of | waves. The writer recently spent four | | nights such as never gvill be forgotteg | on these waters, and the smartness of the old man at the helm and his boy with the three sails saved us from | being wrecked again and again. A | charge of one mejedie (three shillings | and four pence) a trip is made for each ; | passenger, and for such a unique voy- age it is not exorbitant. There is some | talk about a small steam tug being put | on the sea, but the authorities are loth to grant permission. It will be a great | boon when, if ever, it does arrive, as it bring the east and west sides ' {of Jordan nearer to one another for | pommunication and trading purposes. | —London Graphic. ————— Etymology of “Denicoed.” The Kennebunkport correspondent nf | the Record recently’ was talking with ja 1ady who is a native of-this -town | svhose family was one of the first to| ttle in this vicinity. During the con-| ersation she made the remark “that lfhe would rather be denicoed,” and | upon- inquiry said that she had heard ‘thc‘ vhrase used by members of her | family .during her childhood, -but could | not tell where it originated. Being | somewhat interested in historical mat- ters, the writer, ing the expression in mind, found that in 1755 the English, who were at war with the French and Indidns, had taken the French people who resided in Nova Scotia prisoners and had distributed them among the different towns of the English colonies. These unfortunates were called the Frencl seutrals. The person assigned to Arundel, now Kennebunkport, was i Joseph Denico, and thus originated the expression that rather than have some misfortune come to them or do some very disagreeable task ‘“they would rather be denicoed.” After nearly 150 years this phrase was used in ordinary conversation.—Biddeford (Me.) Recori] —_——— One Hundred Years Ago. i HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ' March Mr. Nicholson, from the | | commitice 6f ways and means, present- | { ed a bill further to protect the seamen | | and corgmerce of the United States| against the Barbary powers. | The biil profides that an addllicnalj is |duty of 23 per centum per i annum be laid wupon all im-| ported goods at present charged | with a duty ad valorem, and an addi- tional duty of 10 per cent on all such duties payable on goods imported in foreign, vessels. proceeds of th duties are fo constitute a fund to- called thé Mediterranean fund.

The President is authorized to cause to be purchased, or built, two vessels of war, to carry sixteen guns each, and as many gunboats as he may think proper. One million of dollars, additional to the sum heretofore appro- priated, .is placed under the direction of the President for the naval service, which sum he is authorized to borrow at a rate not exceeding € per cent.— Commercial Advertiser (March 28). were brol 'must be rarer in another fifty years.— DISASTER ENDS AERIAL VOYAGE Qakland Aeronaut Falls One! Hundred Feet at Lodi and He May Lose His Life CETA S slad ALLOON STRIKES TREE octors Fear That the Man Suffered Internal Injuries in the Parachute Accident = =) ) H LODI, May 7.—Frank Hamilton of Oakland while trying to make a balloon ascension at Woodbridge this after- moon narrowly escaped instant death, and may yet die from the injuries he | sush.\ned. | Hamilton trled to make the jump 'with a parachute while the wind was blowing a gale. The balloon steered against a pine tree and a rope caught | in a imb, tearing the parachute loose. Hamiiton fell a distance of 100 feet, 'landing on his head. The fall rendered i him unconsclous.

Doctors fear that he sustained | | Internal injuries. —_———— GIRL FALLS FROM CLIFF AND SUSTAINS INJURIES 8AN JOSE, May 7.—Miss Mira Cushing, a 16-year-old girl, had a mar- velous escape from death at Alum Rock Park this afternoon. With com- | panions she had gone to the park for lan outing. While playing near the | edge of a cliff she lost her balance and | fell over. The vertical fall was mor than a dozen feet and the roll down | ,hill a distance of between seventy- | five and 100 feet. She was picked up unconscious. Over the left eye there was a gash and the flesh was laid open to the bone. Her elbow, knee and ankle were badly bruised, but no bones e Golden Wedding Gifts. Attesting the frequency of golden weddings in these times are.the ar- ticles displayed in certain shops of a special suitability for gifts on such occasions. In making them the best quality of silver is used, and then there is an overlaying of fourteen-karat gold. So in all that meets the eye the gift will be of pure gold. Probably i* will | wear, too; outwear, indeed, the recip- ients of it by a good many years, and descend to other generations as heir- | looms to be treasured carefully—the more carefully, it is very probable, be- cause in days to come golden weddings may be more uncommon than now. {The business of cutting off in their | | prime marriages that, if 41l went well, | should reach the half century mark, is in such a flourishing condition in the divorce courts that golden weddings Boston Transcript. | ham, England.

He went | to the piano and began one of his Hun- | garian rhapsodies. But the Czar en- | tered into an animated discussion with me of his generals, and, after a minute or so Liszt, without troubling to invent a conclusion to the piece, stopped and | left the instrument. Missing the ac- companiment to his talk the Czar sent | the performance had ceased. “The Czar must well know,” sald Liszt, with a steely flash in his gray eyes, “that while he is speaking every other voice, even that of music, is bound to be mute,” and, turning his back upon the | outraged functionary, he stalked out of the room.—London News. ———————————— Champagne Prize Explained.
